Dengue fever (DF) is an arboviral disease caused by a positive-sense RNA virus of the genus Flavivirus. The overall incidence of DF has increased exponentially worldwide over the last three decades. The atypical clinical manifestations of DF grouped under expanded dengue syndrome (EDS), have also
BACKGROUND
Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in full-term infants is uncommon and is a rare cause of neonatal fever. This study was conducted to estimate the incidences of ICH and fever in a hospital-based population, and to determine if the clinical features of neonatal ICH with and without
Dengue fever has been a major cause of morbidity and mortality in subtropical and tropical countries. We report a rare case of severe dengue with spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage. A search of literature through PubMed revealed that the largest series analyzed so far only included five cases. A
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether procalcitonin (PCT) levels are different in infected versus noninfected febrile patients with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH).
METHODS
This prospective observational study included 104 patients with ICH and fever >38.3°C admitted to the intensive care unit of a tertiary
Hemorrhage in the midbrain and/or pons in patients is often associated with increased metabolism, resulting in hyperthermia. We have recently reported that hyperthermia develops in anesthetized rats following prepontine knife-cuts or procaine microinjections into the midbrain or upper pontine
Infective endocarditis is associated with unstable infective vegetations, which have a propensity to embolize and cause embolic events, such as stroke. Many cases present with an embolic event as the first sign of infective endocarditis. We present a patient who had a history of recent and
BACKGROUND
Longer length of stay (LOS) is associated with higher complications and costs in ICU patients, while hospital protocols may decrease complications and LOS. We hypothesized that medical complications would increase LOS after spontaneous subarachnoid (SAH) and intracerebral (ICH) hemorrhage
BACKGROUND
Fascioliasis is a parasitic infection caused by Fasciola hepatica. Human beings can be infected accidentally by an ingestion of the metacercariae; and the parasite exists almost persistently in the bile ducts, but rarely in other organs. We report an interesting case of ectopic
Over the past several decades, the rate of traumatic brain injury (TBI)-related emergency room visits in the United States has steadily increased, yet mortality in these patients has decreased. This improvement in outcome is largely due to advances in prehospital care, intensive care unit
A 34-year-old man with neuro-Behçet disease showed bilateral cheiro-oral syndrome following simultaneous multiple brain hemorrhage. The patient suddenly developed fever, headache, right-sided heminumbness, and gait disturbance after ciclosporin therapy was instituted. Bilateral uveitis, oral
A one-month-old male infant with spontaneous intracerebral and subdural hematomas due to vitamin K deficiency was described. He was breastfed. Loose stools continued and began to contain blood. He had fever, vomiting and convulsion, and became drowsy. The blood studies showed anemia and
The human parechovirus (HPeV), mainly genotype 3, may cause severe illness in young infants and neonates, including sepsis-like illness and central nervous system (CNS) infection. We lack data concerning the impact and symptoms of HPeV infection in infants in Austria. The aim of the study is to
Intracranial hemorrhage has been rarely reported during the course of polyarteritis nodosa. We describe a 6-year-old boy who presented with fever, altered sensorium, skin rash, hypertension, and catastrophic intracranial hemorrhage. After surgical evacuation of the intracranial hematoma, he
OBJECTIVE
Reducing the incidence of hospital-acquired pneumonia (PNU) is important but depends on accurate assessment. We sought to determine the interrater reliability of diagnosis of PNU and its impact on resource utilization and functional outcomes in a high-risk population.
METHODS
Patients
The hospital records of 30 infants with a diagnosis of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) due to late onset of vitamin K deficiency, seen during a 5-year period (2001-2005) were retrospectively evaluated. Signs and symptoms of the patients were convulsions (80%), poor sucking (50%), irritability (40%),
